Luise Sargent, BACP

Luise Sargent is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and issues around self‑esteem, addiction and intimacy. Luise works with those dealing with parenting strains, career stress, sleep and eating concerns, and neurodiverse challenges such as ADHD.

Her approach is straightforward and calm. Sessions are non‑judgemental and focused on understanding what is getting in the way of daily life. Luise listens first, then helps people identify practical steps to feel steadier and more in control. She brings ten years of experience to each conversation.

Luise uses client‑centred methods to keep the person’s goals at the heart of therapy. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on solution‑focused tools to set clear, achievable goals. These methods are chosen to suit the problem and the person rather than following a fixed script.

Clients can expect a warm, respectful space to talk things through and try different ways of coping. Luise holds a BACP accreditation, which is noted as BACP. She offers sessions suitable for people coping with life changes, burnout and complex emotional concerns.

Work begins by exploring what matters most to the client and agreeing small, practical steps. Over time those steps build into clearer choices and better daily routines so people can move forward with more confidence.

Practical therapy approaches for online support

Luise uses client‑centred work to prioritise the person's own goals and experience, offering a listening, empathetic presence that helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties. Solution‑focused therapy concentrates on identifying small changes and clear goals to move forward more quickly, which can be useful for career stress, coping with life changes and day‑to‑day problems.

Finding the right approach often happens together. Luise will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and the issue at hand, then agree a plan that mixes methods as needed. This collaborative process means the approach can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and mirror face‑to‑face sessions, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low or a shorter check‑in is needed. Live chat and text‑based messaging suit people who prefer to write, want ongoing contact between sessions, or need a format that fits around work and caregiving. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite busy schedules or travel.
